[nilesh11kumar]

I want to buy a laptop from USA and I have said friend to bring it for me .would it be safe importing it from USA whether there will be any problem related to warranty issues and service issues and how much should I afford to buy a laptop I don't play a lot of games .

Typically, acquiring warranty service (should you need it), is tied to the region in which is was purchased.
Not that it's impossible to get around, sometimes.... but contacting your local ASUS etc with a serial number from the US, may be tough.

I just want to know do the local company provide the service if we buy the product from usa and use it in India

Someone you'd pay for service? No reason they wouldn't.
If you want it covered by the manufacturer..... probably not.

What is stopping you from asking them? Contact the local company, contact the laptop manufacturer. Ask them.

If you want to ensure warranty service is available, buying from a more local distributor should be a smoother route to go..
UAE and India would be considered "Asia", generally speaking - although there may be variants available, and it's not a definite.

Using ASUS as an example, provide either a 1 or 2 year warranty and specifically state "international".

Now, what that means in practice, is anybodies guess. On the face of it, I'd assume transferable & applies internationally..... but maybe now.

Additionally, "importing" from the USA will probably incur Customs fees and taxes.
So your cost savings might not be as much as you think.
